Tony Bellew has vowed to make his Goodison Park world title dream become a reality after achieving it on the big screen.

Bellew 'won' a world title fight at the home of his beloved Blues in the Rocky spin-off Creed and has the chance to do it for real when he faces Ilunga Makabu for the vacant WBC cruiserweight title on May 29.

The Scouser has come up short in his two previous world title bids and said: "It's all on me now.

"I'm a Scouser and a mad Evertonian . I don't care how good he is, I don't care how hard he hits, I'm going to become WBC cruiserweight champion in front of thousands of Scousers at Goodison Park and nothing will stop me.

"Creed has done something nuts to me. It's created a whirlwind and this is where it's taken me - it's unbelievable.

"Thanks to Everton, Bill Kenwright and everyone who has believed in me and backed me from day one. The dream becomes a reality on May 29."

Bellew heads a stacked card, which will be shown on Sky Sports, and David Price makes his latest comeback while Stephen Smith fights for the vacant WBC Silver super-featherweight title after failing in his IBF challenge.
